The new Wallaby jersey

[Samson]

I quite like the new design but something about it reminds me of the infamous penis jacket - https://www.google.com.au/search?q=penis jacket&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwirpfWYqcDiAhXJ7XMBHVyiCIUQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=1005

If that reminds you of a penis I can only assume you live in a very cold and wet climate without adequate heating.

A player wears a jersey, shorts and underwear, socks and boots. The sleeve of a jersey must extend at least half-way from the shoulder point to the elbow.

1. The referee has the power to decide at any time that part of a player’s clothing is dangerous or illegal. In this case, the referee must order the player to remove the item. The player must not take part in the match until the item is removed or rendered harmless.
2. If, at an inspection before the match, a match official tells a player that an item banned under this law is being worn and the player is subsequently found to be wearing that item on the playing area, that player is sent off for misconduct. Sanction: Penalty.
3. The referee must not allow any player to leave the playing area to change items of clothing, unless they are bloodstained.

But the sleeve quite obviously does meet that guideline.........

yeah it's fine on Foley. Hooper has just pushed it up a bit. You can see the sleeve rolls.

Not really, Canberra has a largely dry climate.........

I just don't get the glossy circles making a pattern on the jersey. Otherwise, I quite like it: it's green, it's gold, it has the right crests, cool.

It's "grip print" and is meant to help you catch the ball.

Unless there's a little dew on the ground, and then all bets are off.........

That's a slipperly slope to post-Beijing-2008 style uniform material restrictions, haha.

Horan had a new jersey on Fox this evening. The colours, especially the green, look a lot more "traditional" than those photo shoots above.

I like it. Looks good

If you're being genuine, then...........

Has the TV commercial started airing yet? Saw a story during the week that they had to re-shoot parts of it in SA with Foley as the star of the show.
